AHRI Certificate Checklist Before You Sign a Quote
carrierlennoxtrane
A homeowner checklist to verify SEER2, HSPF2, and matched indoor/outdoor model numbers using AHRI—works for any brand including Carrier, Lennox, and Trane.
Ask for these fields
Outdoor model, indoor model (coil or air handler), AHRI reference number, SEER2 (and HSPF2 for heat pumps), and whether the combination is listed as certified. AHRI homeowner education stresses matched pairs for split systems.
Verify online
Search ahridirectory.org and confirm the numbers match the proposal. If the outdoor unit is listed alone without your indoor model, the efficiency claim may not apply as written.
Scope still matters
Certificate in hand, still compare permits, ducts, electrical, thermostat, and haul-away. The Cooling Experts documents matches and scope on estimates.
Sources & governing bodies
Educational references only. The Cooling Experts are an independent contractor. Verify model ratings in the AHRI Directory and current program rules on official sites.
